ACD – a Bio-Techne brand

ACD – a Bio-Techne brand is a pioneer and leader in the advancement of spatial genomics by unlocking the power of RNA and developing cell- and tissue-based research.

ACD’s proprietary technology, RNAscope, is the gold standard for RNA in situ hybridization, trusted by top academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and service providers around the world. Backed by over 12,000 peer-reviewed publications, RNAscope delivers single-molecule sensitivity with high target specificity in morphological context.

Features and Benefits of the Technology

Features

  • Strong detection of low expressors - Visualization of even very low-expressing genes in any of the three probe channels
  • Compatible with multiple sample types - Detection of signals at low exposure, compatible with both FFPE and fresh frozen samples
  • Supports dual ISH and IHC protocols - High and stable signals enable sequential detection of proteins by IHC on the same samples
  • Sharper, crisper signal - Strong, balanced signals across all three channels make it easy to generate publication-quality data

Benefits

  • Easy to use – No need to match expression level of targets with channel sensitivity
  • Novel multiplex nucleic acid ISH technology with a patented probe design
  • Delivers clear and actionable results with high sensitivity and specificity

RNAscope Capabilities on BOND RX

RNAscope Single Plex

RNAscope 2.5 LS and LSx, Red and Brown assays are automated solutions that enable customers to achieve high-throughput detection of RNA targets using the BOND RX research staining platform. With both protease and protease-free workflow options, these assays enable the seamless integration of RNA ISH and downstream IHC protein detection for a high-throughput multiomic assay.

RNAscope Multiomic LS

The RNAscope Multiomic LS assay enables highly sensitive and specific detection of both RNA and proteins in the same tissue section for a true multiomic spatial assay. Proven RNAscope technology is leveraged along with a protease-free workflow to enable the simultaneous detection of up to six total proteins and RNA targets with single-cell resolution. Available RNAscope primary antibodies against common targets and RNAscope secondary antibodies used with one’s own primaries can be combined with RNAscope probes to quickly build a custom multiomic assay.
